I wonder why one of the Magliozzi Bros. on Car Talk this morning went on about not “getting” Conan’s humor. I didn’t catch if it was Tom or Ray, but there was no disagreement from the other, so I’m assuming both feel that way. Was it an MIT/Harvard rivalry thing? or because they are buddies with Jay Leno who is also a grease monkey ? Personally, I see more humor in Conan’s little finger than in all of Jay’s big puffy body, but that’s just me. oh, maybe it’s the puffy body connection. I thing the car talk guys are pretty puffy.

Jay is likely the nicer of the two. But he appeals to the demographic weaned on Mad Magazine and Leave it to Beaver; and Conan, well, he’s not yet properly weaned.
